- 52:52Speaker 1: And Jehovah thy God saith to thee, Thou dost feed
- 52:56Speaker 1: my people Israel, and thou art leader over my people Israel.
- 53:01Speaker 1: And all the elders of Israel come in unto the

- 53:37Speaker 1: and prince, and go up first doth Joab son of Zeruiah,
- 53:42Speaker 1: and becometh head. And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore
- 53:46Speaker 1: they have called it City of David. And he buildeth
- 53:50Speaker 1: the city round about, from below and unto the circumference,
- 53:53Speaker 1: and Joab restoreth the rest of the city. And David goeth,

- 54:38Speaker 1: is full of barley, and the people have fled from
- 54:40Speaker 1: the face of the Philistines. And they station themselves in
- 54:44Speaker 1: the midst of the portion, and deliver it, and smite
- 54:47Speaker 1: the Philistines, and Jehovah saveth a great salvation. And three
- 54:52Speaker 1: of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto
- 54:55Speaker 1: David unto the cave of Adulam. And the host of

- 55:09Speaker 1: Who doth give me to drink water from the well
- 55:12Speaker 1: of Bethlehem that is at the gate? And the three
- 55:15Speaker 1: break through the camp of the Philistines, and draw water
- 55:18Speaker 1: from the well of Bethlehem that is at the gate,
- 55:21Speaker 1: and bear and bring in unto David. And David hath
- 55:24Speaker 1: not been willing to drink it, and poureth it out
- 55:27Speaker 1: to Jehovah, and saith, Far be it from me by
- 55:30Speaker 1: my God to do this. The blood of these men
- 55:33Speaker 1: do I drink with their lives, for with their lives

- 1:03:25Speaker 1: going forth to the host to arrange battle, are forty thousand,
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: And from beyond the Jordan, of the Reubenite, and of
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: the Gadite, and of the half of the tribe of Manasseh,
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: with all instruments of the host for battle, are a
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand. All these are men of war,
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: keeping rank, with a perfect heart they have come to
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: Hebron to cause David to reign over all Israel, and
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: also all the rest of Israel are of one heart
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: to cause David to reign. And they are there with
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: David three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren have
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: prepared for them. And also those near unto them, unto Issachar,
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: and Zebulun, and Naphtali, are bringing in bread on asses,
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, food
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: of fine flour, fig-cakes, and grape-cakes, and wine, and oil,
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: and oxen, and sheep, in abundance, for joy is in Israel.
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Chapter 13 And David consulteth with the heads of the thousands,
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: and of the hundreds, every leader. And David saith to
- 1:04:28Speaker 1: all the assembly of Israel, If unto you it be good,
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth, we
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: send unto our brethren those left in all the lands
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites,
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: in the cities of their suburbs. And they are gathered
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: unto us, and we bring round the ark of our
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: God unto us, for we sought him not in the
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: days of Saul. and all the assembly say to do so,
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: for the thing is right in the eyes of all
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: the people. And David assembleth all Israel from Shihur of Egypt,
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: the ark of God from Kirjath-Jerim. And David goeth up,
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jerim, that is to Judah,
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: the cherubs, where the name is called on. And they
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: place the ark of God on a new cart from
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: the house of Abinadab. And Uzzah and Ahio are leading
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: the cart. And David and all Israel are playing before
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: God with all strength, and with songs, and with harps,
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: with trumpets. And they come in unto the threshing floor
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: of Chidon. And Uzzah putteth forth his hand to seize
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: the ark, for the oxen were released. And the anger
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: of Jehovah is kindled against Uzzah, and he smiteth him,
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: because that he hath put forth his hand on the ark,
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: and he dieth there before God. And it is displeasing
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: to David, because Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzzah,
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: and one calleth that place breach of Uzzah unto this day.
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: And David feareth God on that day, saying, How do
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: I bring in unto me the ark of God? And
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: the city of David, and turneth it aside unto the
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. And the ark of God
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: dwelleth with the household of Obed-Edom in his house three months,
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: and Jehovah blesseth the house of Obed-Edom, and all that
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: he hath. Chapter 14 And Huram king of Tyre sendeth
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: messengers unto David, and cedar wood, and artificers of walls,
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: and artificers of wood, to build to him a house.
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: And David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for king
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel. And
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David begetteth again
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: sons and daughters. And these are the names of the
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: children whom he hath in Jerusalem, Shammuah, and Shobab, Nathan,
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: and Solomon. and Ibar, and Elishua, and Elpalet, and Noga,
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: and Nepheg, and Japhia, and Elishema, and Beliada, and Eliphelet.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: And the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: to seek David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them.
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: of Rephaim, and David asketh of God, saying, Do I
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: go up against the Philistines, and hast thou given them
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: into my hand? And Jehovah saith to him, Go up,
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: and I have given them into thy hand. And they
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: go up into Baal-perazim, and David smiteth them there. And
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: David saith, God hath broken up mine enemies by my hand,
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: like the breaking up of waters. Therefore they have called
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: the name of that place Baal-perazim. And they leave there
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: their gods, and David speaketh, and they are burnt with fire.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: And David asketh again of God, and God saith to him,
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: Do not go up after them, turn round from them,
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: and thou hast come to them from over against the mulberries.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: And it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: of the stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: thou goest out into battle, for God hath gone out
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: before thee to smite the camp of the Philistines. And
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer. and
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: the name of David goeth out into all the lands,
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: Chapter 15 And he maketh for himself houses in the
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: city of David, and prepareth a place for the ark
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: of God, and stretcheth out for it a tent. Then
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: said David, None are to carry the ark of God
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: except the Levites. Of sons of Kohath, Uriah the chief
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: and his brethren, a hundred and twenty. Of sons of Merari,
- 1:09:26Speaker 1: Asaiah the chief and his brethren, two hundred and twenty.
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: Of sons of Gershom, Joel the chief and his brethren,
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty. Of sons of Elizaphon, Shimeah the
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: chief and his brethren, two hundred. Of sons of Hebron,
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: Eliah the chief and his brethren, eighty. Of sons of Uziel,
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: Amminadab the chief and his brethren, a hundred and twelve.
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: And David calleth to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests,
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: and to the Levites, to Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah,
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: and Eliel, and Amminadab, and saith to them, Ye are
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: heads of the fathers of the Levites, Sanctify yourselves, ye
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: and your brethren, and ye have brought up the ark
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: of Jehovah God of Israel unto the place I have
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: prepared for it. Because at the first it was not ye,
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, because we
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: sought him not according to the ordinance. And the priests
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: of Jehovah God of Israel. And sons of the Levites
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: bear the ark of God, as Moses commanded, according to
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: the word of Jehovah, on their shoulder, with staves above them.
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: And David saith to the heads of the Levites to
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of song, psalteries,
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: and harps, and cymbals, sounding, to lift up with the
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: voice for joy. And the Levites appoint Heman son of Joel,
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: and of his brethren, Asaph son of Berechiah, and of
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan son of Cushaiah,
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: and with them their brethren, the seconds in rank, Zechariah, Ben,
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: and Jaaziel, and Chemerimoth, and Jehiel, and Unai, Eliab, and Benaiah,
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: and Maaseiah, and Matathiah, and Eliphileh, and Michnaiah, and Obed-Edom,
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: and Jaiel the gatekeepers, and the singers Heman, Asaph, and Ethan,
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: with cymbals of brass to sound. and Zechariah, and Azazel,
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unai, and Eliab, and Maaseiah,
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: and Benaiah, with psalteries besides virgins, and Mattithiah, and Eliphileh,
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: and Michnaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jehiel, and Azazel, with harps
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: on the octave to oversee. And Chenaniah, head of the Levites,
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: is over the burden. He instructeth about the burden, for
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: he is intelligent. and Berechiah and Elkanah are gatekeepers for
- 1:11:59Speaker 1: the ark. And Shebaniah and Josaphat and Nathanael and Amasai
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: and Zechariah and Benaiah and Eliezer the priests are blowing
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: with trumpets before the ark of God, and Obed-Edom and
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: Jehiah are gatekeepers for the ark. And it is David
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: and the elders of Israel and the heads of the
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: thousands who are going to bring up the ark of
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: the covenant of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom with joy.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: and it cometh to pass, in God's helping the Levites
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: sacrifice seven bullocks and seven rams. And David is wrapped
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: in an upper robe of fine linen, and all the
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: Levites who are bearing the ark, and the singers, and
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: Chenaniah head of the burden of the singers, and on
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: David is an ephod of linen. and all Israel are
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: bringing up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting,
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: and with the sound of a cornet, and with trumpets,
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: and with cymbals sounding with psalteries and harps. And it
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: cometh to pass, the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
- 1:12:59Speaker 1: is entering in unto the city of David, and Michal,
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: daughter of Saul, is looking through the window, and seeth
- 1:13:05Speaker 1: King David dancing and playing, and despiseth him in her heart.
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: THE END OF CHAPTER XI-XV CHAPTER XVI-XX And they bring
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: in the ark of God, and set it up in
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: the midst of the tent that David hath stretched out
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: for it. And they bring near burnt offerings and peace
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: offerings before God. And David ceaseth from offering the burnt
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: offering and the peace offerings, and blesseth the people in
- 1:13:53Speaker 1: the name of Jehovah, and giveth a portion to every
- 1:13:57Speaker 1: man of Israel, both man and woman. to each a
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a grape-cake.
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: And he putteth before the ark of Jehovah, of the Levites, ministers,
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: even to make mention of, and to thank, and to
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: give praise to Jehovah, God of Israel. Asaph the head,

- 1:14:32Speaker 1: And Benaiah and Jehaziel the priests are with trumpets continually
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: before the ark of the covenant of God. On that
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: day then hath David given at the beginning to give
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: Give thanks to Jehovah, call in his name, make known
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: among the peoples his doings. Sing ye to him, sing
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: psalms to him, meditate on all his wonders. boast yourselves
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: in his holy name, rejoiced off the heart of those
- 1:15:01Speaker 1: seeking Jehovah. Seek ye Jehovah and his strength, seek his
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: face continually, remember his wonders that he did, his signs
- 1:15:11Speaker 1: and the judgments of his mouth. O seed of Israel,
- 1:15:14Speaker 1: his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones, he
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: is Jehovah our God, in all the earth are his judgments.
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: Remember ye to the age his covenant, the word he
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: commanded to a thousand generations, which he hath made with Abraham,
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: and his oath to Isaac. And he establisheth it to
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: Jacob for a statute, to Israel a covenant age during, saying,
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: To thee I give the land of Canaan, the portion
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: of your inheritance, when ye are few of number as
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: a little thing, and sojourners in it. And they go
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: up and down, from nation unto nation, and from a
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: kingdom unto another people. He hath not suffered any to
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: oppress them, and reproveth on their account kings. Come not
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: against mine anointed ones, and against my prophets do not evil.
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: Sing to Jehovah all the earth, proclaim from day unto
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: day his salvation. Rehearse among nations his glory, among all
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: the peoples his wonders. For great is Jehovah, and praised greatly,
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: and fearful he is above all gods. For all gods
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: of the peoples are not, and Jehovah the heavens hath made.
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and joy are
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: in his place. Ascribe to Jehovah ye families of peoples.
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: Ascribe to Jehovah honor and strength. Ascribe to Jehovah the
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: honor of his name. Lift up a present and come
- 1:16:42Speaker 1: before him. Bow yourselves to Jehovah in the beauty of holiness.
- 1:16:48Speaker 1: Be pained before him all the earth. Also, established is
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: the world, it is not moved. The heavens rejoice, and
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: the earth is glad, and they say among nations, Jehovah
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: hath reigned. Roar doth the sea and its fullness, exult
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: doth the field and all that is in it. Then sing,
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: do trees of the forest, from the presence of Jehovah,
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: for he hath come to judge the earth. Give thanks
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: to Jehovah for good, for to the age is his kindness.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: And say, And all the people say, Amen, and have
- 1:17:40Speaker 1: given praise to Jehovah. And he leaveth there before the
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: ark of the covenant of Jehovah, for Asaph and for
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: his brethren to minister before the ark continually, according to
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: the matter of a day in its day, both Obed-Edom
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: and their brethren, sixty and eight, and Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun,
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: and Hosea for gatekeepers, and Zadok the priest, and his
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, in a
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: high place that is in Gibeon, to cause to ascend
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: burnt offerings to Jehovah on the altar of burnt offering
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: continually morning and evening, and for all that is written
- 1:18:17Speaker 1: in the law of Jehovah that he charged on Israel.
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: And with them are Heman and Jaduthun, and the rest
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: of those chosen who were defined by name to give
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: thanks to Jehovah, for to the age is his kindness.
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: And with them, Heman and Jaduthun, are trumpets and cymbals
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God,
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: and the sons of Jeduthun are at the gate. And
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: all the people go each to his house, and David
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: turneth round to bless his house. Chapter 17 And it
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: cometh to pass, as David sat in his house, that
- 1:18:54Speaker 1: David saith unto Nathan the prophet, Lo, I am dwelling
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: in a house of cedars, and the ark of the
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: covenant of Jehovah is under curtains. And Nathan saith unto David,
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: all that is in thy heart do, for God is
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: with thee. And it cometh to pass on that night
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: that a word of God is unto Nathan, saying, Go,
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: and thou hast said unto David my servant, Thus said Jehovah,
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: Thou dost not build for me the house to dwell in,
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: for I have not dwelt in a house from the
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: day that I brought up Israel till this day, and
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: I am from tent unto tent, and from the tabernacle
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: unto whithersoever i have walked up and down among all
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: israel a word spake i with one of the judges
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: of israel whom i commanded to feed my people saying
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: why have ye not built for me a house of
- 1:19:47Speaker 1: cedars and now thus dost thou say to my servant
- 1:19:51Speaker 1: to david Thus said Jehovah of hosts, I have taken
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: thee from the habitation, from after the sheep, to be
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: leader over my people Israel. And I am with thee
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: whithersoever thou hast walked. And I cut off all thine
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: enemies from thy presence, and have made for thee a
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: name like the name of the great ones who are
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: in the earth. And I have prepared a place for
- 1:20:14Speaker 1: my people Israel, and planted it, and it hath dwelt
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: in its place, and is not troubled any more. and
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: the sons of perverseness add not to wear it out
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: as at first yea even from the days that i
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: appointed judges over my people israel and i have humbled
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: all thine enemies and i declare to thee that a
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: house doth jehovah build for thee and it hath come
- 1:20:37Speaker 1: to pass when thy days have been fulfilled to go
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: with thy fathers that i have raised up thy seed
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: after thee who is of thy sons and i have
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: established his kingdom he doth build for me a house
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: and i have established his throne unto the age I
- 1:20:54Speaker 1: am to him for a father, and he is to
- 1:20:56Speaker 1: me for a son, and my kindness I turn not
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: aside from him, as I turned it aside from him
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: who was before thee. And I have established him in
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: my house, and in my kingdom unto the age, and
- 1:21:09Speaker 1: his throne is established unto the age. According to all
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: these words, and according to all this vision, so spake
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: Nathan unto David. And David the king cometh in, and
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, Who am I, O Jehovah God,
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: and what my house that thou hast brought me hitherto?
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: And this is small in thine eyes, O God, and
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: thou speakest concerning the house of thy servant afar off,
- 1:21:37Speaker 1: and hast seen me as a type of the man
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: who is on high, O Jehovah God. What doth David
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: add more unto thee for the honour of thy servant,
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: and thou thy servant hast known? O Jehovah, for thy
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, thou hast
- 1:21:53Speaker 1: done all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
- 1:21:58Speaker 1: O Jehovah, there is none like thee, and there is
- 1:22:01Speaker 1: no God save thee, according to all that we have
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: heard with our ears. And who is as thy people Israel,
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: one nation in the earth, whom God hath gone to
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: ransom to him for a people, to make for thee
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: a name great and fearful, to cast out from the
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: presence of thy people, whom thou hast ransomed out of Egypt, nations? Yea,
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: thou dost appoint thy people Israel to thee for a
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: people unto the age, and thou, O Jehovah, hast been
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: to them for God. And now, O Jehovah, the word
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house,
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: Let be steadfast unto the age, and do as thou
- 1:22:38Speaker 1: hast spoken, and let it be steadfast, and thy name
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of hosts, God
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: of Israel, is God to Israel, and the house of
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: thy servant David is established before thee. For thou, O
- 1:22:53Speaker 1: my God, thou hast uncovered the ear of thy servant
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: to build to him a house. Therefore hath thy servant
- 1:22:59Speaker 1: found to pray before thee. And now, Jehovah, thou art
- 1:23:03Speaker 1: God himself, and thou speakest concerning thy servant this goodness.
- 1:23:08Speaker 1: And now thou hast been pleased to bless the house
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: of thy servant to be to the age before thee.
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: For thou, O Jehovah, hast blessed, and it is blessed
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: to the age. Chapter 18. And it cometh to pass
- 1:23:25Speaker 1: after this, that David smiteth the Philistines, and humbleth them,
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: and taketh Gath and its small towns out of the
- 1:23:31Speaker 1: hand of the Philistines. And he smiteth Moab, and the
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: Moabites are servants to David, bringing a present. And David
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: smiteth Hadarezer king of Zobah at Hamath, in his going
- 1:23:42Speaker 1: to establish his power by the river Freight. And David
- 1:23:46Speaker 1: captureth from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen,
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: and twenty thousand footmen, and David destroyeth utterly all the chariots,
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: and leaveth of them a hundred chariots only. And Aram
- 1:23:58Speaker 1: of Damascus cometh in to give help to Hadarezer king
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: of Zobah, and David smiteth in Aram twenty and two
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: thousand men. And David putteth garrisons in Aram of Damascus,
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: and the Arameans are to David for servants, bearing a present.
- 1:24:13Speaker 1: And Jehovah giveth salvation to David whithersoever he hath gone.
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: And David taketh the shields of gold that hath been
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: on the servants of Hadarezer, and bringeth them in to Jerusalem.
- 1:24:23Speaker 1: And from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, hath
- 1:24:27Speaker 1: David taken very much brass. With it hath Solomon made
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: And Tohu king of Hamath heareth that David hath smitten
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: the whole force of Hadarezer king of Zobah. and he
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: sendeth Hadaram his son unto King David to ask of
- 1:24:43Speaker 1: him of peace, and to bless him, because that he
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: hath fought against Hadarezer, and smiteth him, for a man
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: of wars with Tou had Hadarezer been, and all kinds
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: of vessels of gold, and silver, and brass. Also them
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: hath King David sanctified to Jehovah with the silver and
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: the gold that he hath taken from all the nations,
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon,
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. And Abishai son
- 1:25:10Speaker 1: of Zeruiah hath smitten Edom in the valley of salt,
- 1:25:13Speaker 1: eighteen thousand. And he putteth in Edom garrisons, and all
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: the Edomites are servants to David, and Jehovah saveth David
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: whithersoever he hath gone. And David reigneth over all Israel,
- 1:25:25Speaker 1: and he is doing judgment and righteousness to all his people.
- 1:25:29Speaker 1: And Joab son of Zeruiah is over the host, and
- 1:25:32Speaker 1: Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud is remembrancer, and Zadok son of
- 1:25:36Speaker 1: Ahitub and Abimelech son of Abiathar are priests, and Shavshah
- 1:25:41Speaker 1: is scribe, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada is over the
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: Cherethite and the Pelethite, and the elder sons of David
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: are at the hand of the king. Chapter 19 And
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: it cometh to pass after this, that Nahash king of
- 1:25:57Speaker 1: the sons of Ammon dieth, and his son reigneth in
- 1:26:01Speaker 1: his stead. And David saith, I do kindness with Hanun
- 1:26:05Speaker 1: son of Nahash, for his father did with me kindness.
- 1:26:09Speaker 1: And David sendeth messengers to comfort him concerning his father.
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: And the servants of David come in unto the land
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: of the sons of Ammon, unto Hanun, to comfort him.
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: And the heads of the sons of Ammon say to Hanun,
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: Is David honoring thy father in thine eyes, because he
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: hath sent to thee comforters, in order to search, and
- 1:26:29Speaker 1: to overthrow, and to spy out the land? Have not
- 1:26:32Speaker 1: his servants come in unto thee? And Hanun taketh the
- 1:26:36Speaker 1: servants of David, and shaveth them, and cutteth their long
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: robes in the midst unto the buttocks, and sendeth them away.
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: And some go and declare to David concerning the men,
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: and he sendeth to meet them, for the men have
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: been greatly ashamed. And the king saith, Dwell in Jericho
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: till that your beard is grown, then ye have returned.
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: And the sons of Ammon see that they have made
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: themselves abhorred by David, And Hanun and the sons of
- 1:27:03Speaker 1: Ammon send a thousand talents of silver to hire to them,
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: from Aram Naharaim, and from Aram Maaka, and from Zobah,
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: chariots and horsemen. And they hire to them two and
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maaka and his people.
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: And they come in and encamp before Medeba, and the
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: sons of Ammon have been gathered out of their cities,
- 1:27:23Speaker 1: and come in to the battle. And David heareth, and
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: sendeth Joab, and all the host of the mighty men,
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: and the sons of Ammon come out and set battle
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: in array at the opening of the city, and the
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: kings who have come are by themselves in the field.
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: And Joab seeth that the front of the battle hath
- 1:27:40Speaker 1: been unto him before and behind, and he chooseth out
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: of all the choice in Israel, and setteth in array
- 1:27:47Speaker 1: to meet Aram, and the remnant of the people he
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: hath given into the hand of Abishai his brother, and
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: they set in array to meet the sons of Ammon.
- 1:27:56Speaker 1: And he saith, If Aram be stronger than I, then
- 1:27:59Speaker 1: thou hast been to me for salvation. And if the
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: sons of Ammon be stronger than thou, then I have
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: saved thee. Be strong, and we strengthen ourselves for our
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: people and for the cities of our God, and Jehovah
- 1:28:12Speaker 1: doth that which is good in his eyes. And Joab
- 1:28:15Speaker 1: draweth Nih and the people who are with him before
- 1:28:18Speaker 1: Aram to battle, and they flee from his face. And
- 1:28:22Speaker 1: the sons of Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled,
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: And they flee, they also, from the face of Abishai
- 1:28:28Speaker 1: his brother, and go into the city. And Joab cometh
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: in to Jerusalem. And Aram seeth that they have been
- 1:28:35Speaker 1: smitten before Israel, and send messengers, and bring out Aram
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: that is beyond the river. and Shophak head of the
- 1:28:41Speaker 1: host of Hadarezer is before them and it is declared
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: to David and he gathereth all Israel and passeth over
- 1:28:48Speaker 1: the Jordan and cometh in unto them and setteth in
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: array against them yea David setteth in array the battle
- 1:28:55Speaker 1: to meet Aram and they fight with him And Aram
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: fleeth from the face of Israel, and David slayeth of
- 1:29:01Speaker 1: Aram seven thousand charioteers, and forty thousand footmen, and Shophak
- 1:29:07Speaker 1: head of the host he hath put to death. And
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: the servants of Hadarezer see that they have been smitten
- 1:29:13Speaker 1: before Israel, and they make peace with David and serve him.
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: And Aram hath not been willing to help the sons
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: of Ammon any more. Chapter 20 And it cometh to
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: pass at the time of the turn of the year,
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: at the time of the going out of the messengers,
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in,
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: and besiegeth Rabbah. David is abiding in Jerusalem. And Joab
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh it down. And David taketh the
- 1:29:45Speaker 1: crown of their king from off his head, and findeth
- 1:29:48Speaker 1: it in weight a talent of gold, and in it
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: a precious stone, and it is on the head of David.
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: and spoil of the city he hath brought out very much,
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: and the people who are in it he hath brought out,
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron,
- 1:30:03Speaker 1: and to axes. And thus doth David to all the
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turneth back,
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: and all the people to Jerusalem. And it cometh to
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: pass after this, that there remaineth war in Gezer with
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: the Philistines, Then hath Sibachai the Hushethite smitten Sipai of
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: the children of the giant, and they are humbled. And
- 1:30:25Speaker 1: there is again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan son
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: of Jair smiteth Lamai brother of Goliath the Gittite, the
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: wood of whose spear is like a beam of weavers.
- 1:30:35Speaker 1: And there is again war in Gath, and there is
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: a man of measure, and his fingers and his toes
- 1:30:41Speaker 1: are six and six, twenty and four, and also he
- 1:30:45Speaker 1: hath been born to the giant. and he reproacheth Israel,
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea brother of David.
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: These were born to the giant in Gath, and they
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: fall by the hand of David, and by the hand
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: of his servants. CHAPTER XXI And there standeth up an
- 1:31:12Speaker 1: adversary against Israel, and persuadeth David to number Israel. And
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: David saith unto Joab, and unto the heads of the people, Go,
- 1:31:38Speaker 1: number Israel from Beersheba even unto Dan, and bring unto me,
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: and I know their number. And Joab saith, And the
- 1:31:46Speaker 1: word of the king is severe against Joab. And Joab
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: goeth out, and goeth up and down in all Israel,
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: and cometh in to Jerusalem. And Joab giveth the account
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: of the numbering of the people unto David, and all
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: Israel is a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand, each
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: drawing sword. And Judah is four hundred and seventy thousand,
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: each drawing sword. And Levi and Benjamin he hath not
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: numbered in their midst. For the word of the king
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: was abominable with Joab, and it is evil in the
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: eyes of God concerning this thing. And he smiteth Israel,
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: and David saith unto God, I have sinned exceedingly, in
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: that I have done this thing. And now, cause to
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: pass away, I pray thee, the iniquity of thy servant,
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: for I have acted very foolishly. And Jehovah speaketh unto Gad,
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: seer of David, saying, Go, and thou hast spoken unto David, saying,
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: Thus said Jehovah, Three, I am stretching out unto thee,
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: choose for thee one of these, and I do it
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: to thee. And Gad cometh in unto David, and saith
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: to him, Thus said Jehovah, Take for thee, either for
- 1:33:14Speaker 1: three years, famine, or three months to be consumed from
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: the face of thine adversaries, even the sword of thine
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: enemies to overtake, or three days the sword of Jehovah,
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: even pestilence in the land, and a messenger of Jehovah
- 1:33:28Speaker 1: destroying in all the border of Israel. And now see,
- 1:33:32Speaker 1: what word do I return to him who is sending me?
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: And David saith unto Gad, I am greatly distressed. Let
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: me fall, I pray thee, into.
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: The hand of Jehovah, for very many are his mercies,
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: and into the hand of man let me not fall.
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: And Jehovah giveth a pestilence in Israel, and their fall
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: of Israel seventy thousand men. And God sendeth a messenger
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: to Jerusalem to destroy it. And as he is destroying,
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: Jehovah hath seen, and is comforted concerning the evil, and
- 1:34:04Speaker 1: saith to the messenger who is destroying, Enough now, cease
- 1:34:09Speaker 1: thy hand. And the messenger of Jehovah is standing by
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. And David lifteth
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: up his eyes, and seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing
- 1:34:19Speaker 1: between the earth and the heavens, and his sword drawn
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem. And David falleth,
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: and the elders, covered with sackcloth on their faces. And
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: David saith unto God.
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: Did not I, I say to number the people? Yea,
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: I it is who hath sinned, and done great evil,
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: and these the flock, what did they? O Jehovah my God, let,
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: I pray thee, thy hand be on me, and on
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: the house of my father, and not on thy people,
- 1:34:52Speaker 2: to be plagued.
- 1:34:54Speaker 1: And the messenger of Jehovah spake unto Gad, saying for David,
- 1:34:58Speaker 1: Surely David doth go up to raise an altar to
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite. And David
- 1:35:05Speaker 1: goeth up by the word of Gad, that he spake
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: in the name of Jehovah. And Ornan turneth back, and
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: seeth the messenger, and his four sons are with him,
- 1:35:14Speaker 1: hiding themselves, and Ornan is threshing wheat. And David cometh
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: in unto Ornan, and Ornan looketh attentively, and seeth David,
- 1:35:23Speaker 1: and goeth out from the threshing floor, and boweth himself
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: to David, face to the earth. And David saith unto Ornan,
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: Give to me the place of the threshing floor, and
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: I build in it an altar to Jehovah, for full
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: silver give it to me, and the plague is restrained
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: from the people. And Ornan saith unto David, Take to thee,
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: and my lord the king doth that which is good
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: in his eyes. See, I have given the oxen for
- 1:35:50Speaker 1: burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: wheat for a present, the whole I have given. And
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: king David saith to Ornan, Nay, for I surely buy
- 1:36:01Speaker 1: for full silver, for I do not lift up that
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: which is thine to Jehovah, so as to offer a
- 1:36:06Speaker 1: burnt offering without cost. And David giveth to Ornan for
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: the place shackles of gold, in weight six hundred. And
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: David buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and offereth burnt
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: offerings and peace offerings, and calleth unto Jehovah, and he
- 1:36:22Speaker 1: answereth him with fire from the heavens on the altar
- 1:36:24Speaker 1: of the burnt offering. and Jehovah saith to the messenger,
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: and he turneth back his sword unto its sheath. At
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: that time when David seeth that Jehovah hath answered him
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: sacrificeth there. And the tabernacle of Jehovah that Moses made
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering,
- 1:36:45Speaker 1: are at that time in a high place in Gibeon.
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: And David is not able to go before it to
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: seek God, for he hath been afraid because of the
- 1:36:53Speaker 1: sword of the messenger of Jehovah. Chapter 22. And David saith,
- 1:37:02Speaker 1: This is the house of Jehovah God, and this the
- 1:37:05Speaker 1: altar for burnt offering for Israel. And David saith to
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: gather the sojourners who are in the land of Israel,
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: and appointeth hewers to hew hewn stones to build a
- 1:37:15Speaker 1: house of God, and iron in abundance for nails for
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: leaves of the gates, and for couplings hath David prepared,
- 1:37:22Speaker 1: and brass in abundance. There is no weighing. and cedar
- 1:37:26Speaker 1: trees even without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: brought in cedar trees in abundance to David. And David saith,
- 1:37:34Speaker 1: Solomon my son is a youth and tender, and the
- 1:37:38Speaker 1: house to be built to Jehovah is to be made
- 1:37:40Speaker 1: exceedingly great for name and for beauty to all the lands.
- 1:37:44Speaker 1: Let me prepare, I pray thee, for it. And David
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: prepareth in abundance before his death. and he calleth for
- 1:37:51Speaker 1: Solomon his son, and chargeth him to build a house
- 1:37:54Speaker 1: to Jehovah, God of Israel. And David saith to Solomon
- 1:37:58Speaker 1: his son, As for me, it hath been with my
- 1:38:02Speaker 1: heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah
- 1:38:04Speaker 1: my God. And the word of Jehovah is against me, saying,
- 1:38:08Speaker 1: Blood in abundance thou hast shed, and great wars thou
- 1:38:11Speaker 1: hast made. Thou dost not build a house to my name,
- 1:38:15Speaker 1: for much blood thou hast shed to the earth before me. Lo,
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: a son is born to thee, he is a man
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: of rest, and I have given rest to him from
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: all his enemies round about, for Solomon is his name,
- 1:38:28Speaker 1: and peace and quietness I Now, my son, Jehovah is
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: with thee, and thou hast prospered, and hast built the
- 1:38:48Speaker 1: house of Jehovah thy God as he spake concerning thee.
- 1:38:51Speaker 1: Only Jehovah give to thee wisdom and understanding, and charge
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: thee concerning Israel, even to keep the law of Jehovah
- 1:38:58Speaker 1: thy God. Then thou dost prosper, if thou dost observe
- 1:39:02Speaker 1: to do the statutes and the judgments that Jehovah charged
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: Moses with concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous, do not fear,
- 1:39:10Speaker 1: nor be cast down. And lo, in mine affliction I
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: have prepared for the house of Jehovah of gold, talents
- 1:39:17Speaker 1: a hundred thousand, and of silver a thousand thousand talents,
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: and of brass and of iron there is no weighing,
- 1:39:24Speaker 1: for in abundance it hath been, and wood and stones
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: I have prepared, and to them thou dost add. And
- 1:39:30Speaker 1: with thee in abundance are workmen, hewers and artificers of
- 1:39:33Speaker 1: stone and of wood, and every skillful man for every work.
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: to the gold, to the silver, and to the brass,
- 1:39:40Speaker 1: and to the iron there is no number. Arise and do,
- 1:39:43Speaker 1: and Jehovah is with thee. And David giveth charge to
- 1:39:48Speaker 1: all heads of Israel to give help to Solomon his son.
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: Is not Jehovah your God with you? Yea, he hath
- 1:39:54Speaker 1: given rest to you round about, for he hath given
- 1:39:57Speaker 1: into my hand the inhabitants of the land, and subdued
- 1:40:00Speaker 1: hath been the land before his people. Now give your
- 1:40:04Speaker 1: heart and your soul to seek to Jehovah your God,
- 1:40:07Speaker 1: and rise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: the holy vessels of God, to the house that is
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: built to the name of Jehovah. Chapter 23 And David
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: is old. and satisfied with days, and causeth his son
- 1:40:25Speaker 1: Solomon to reign over Israel, and gathereth all the heads

- 2:01:59Speaker 1: the officers and the mighty ones, even to every mighty
- 2:02:02Speaker 1: one of valor unto Jerusalem. And David the king riseth
- 2:02:06Speaker 1: on his feet, and saith, Hear me, my brethren and
- 2:02:10Speaker 1: my people. I, with my heart, to build a house
- 2:02:13Speaker 1: of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
- 2:02:16Speaker 1: and for the footstool of our God, and I prepared
- 2:02:19Speaker 1: to build. And God hath said to me, Thou dost
- 2:02:23Speaker 1: not build a house to my name, for a man
- 2:02:25Speaker 1: of wars thou art, and blood thou hast shed. And
- 2:02:29Speaker 1: Jehovah God of Israel doth fix on me out of
- 2:02:32Speaker 1: all the house of my father to be for king
- 2:02:34Speaker 1: over Israel to the age. For on Judah he hath
- 2:02:37Speaker 1: fixed for a leader, and in the house of Judah
- 2:02:40Speaker 1: the house of my father, and among the sons of
- 2:02:42Speaker 1: my father, on me, me he hath been pleased to
- 2:02:46Speaker 1: make king over all Israel, and out of all my
- 2:02:49Speaker 1: sons Israel. For many sons hath Jehovah given to me.
- 2:02:52Speaker 1: He also fixeth on Solomon my son, to sit on
- 2:02:56Speaker 1: the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel, and
- 2:02:59Speaker 1: saith to me, Solomon thy son, he doth build my
- 2:03:03Speaker 1: house and my courts, for I have fixed on him
- 2:03:06Speaker 1: to me for a son, and I, I am to
- 2:03:09Speaker 1: him for a father, and I have established his kingdom
- 2:03:12Speaker 1: to the age, if he is strong to do my
- 2:03:14Speaker 1: commands and my judgments as at this day. And now,
- 2:03:18Speaker 1: before the eyes of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah,
- 2:03:22Speaker 1: and in the ears of our God, keep and seek
- 2:03:25Speaker 1: all the commands of Jehovah your God, so that ye
- 2:03:27Speaker 1: possess this good land, and have caused your sons to
- 2:03:30Speaker 1: inherit after you unto the age. And thou, Solomon my son,
- 2:03:35Speaker 1: know the God of thy father, and serve him with
- 2:03:38Speaker 1: a perfect heart and with a willing mind, for all
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: hearts is Jehovah seeking, and every imagination of the thoughts
- 2:03:44Speaker 1: he is understanding. If thou dost seek him, he is
- 2:03:48Speaker 1: found of thee, and if thou dost forsake him, he
- 2:03:51Speaker 1: casteth thee off for ever. See now, for Jehovah hath
- 2:03:55Speaker 1: fixed on thee to build a house for a sanctuary.
- 2:03:59Speaker 1: Be strong, and do. And David giveth to Solomon his
- 2:04:03Speaker 1: son the pattern of the porch, and of its houses,
- 2:04:06Speaker 1: and of its treasures, and of its upper chambers, and
- 2:04:09Speaker 1: of its innermost chambers, and of the house of the atonement.
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: and the pattern of all that hath been by the
- 2:04:15Speaker 1: Spirit with him, for the courts of the house of Jehovah,
- 2:04:19Speaker 1: and for all the chambers round about, for the treasures
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: of the house of God, and for the treasures of
- 2:04:24Speaker 1: the things sacrificed. and for the courses of the priests
- 2:04:27Speaker 1: and of the Levites, and for all the work of
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all
- 2:04:32Speaker 1: vessels of service of the house of Jehovah, even gold
- 2:04:36Speaker 1: by weight, for things of gold, for all instruments of
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: service and service, for all instruments of silver by weight,

- 2:04:54Speaker 1: for the candlesticks of silver, by weight for a candlestick
- 2:04:58Speaker 1: and its lamps, according to the service of candlestick and candlestick.

- 2:05:18Speaker 1: by weight for basin and basin. and for the altar
- 2:05:21Speaker 1: of perfume refined gold by weight, and for the pattern
- 2:05:25Speaker 1: of the chariot of the cherubs of gold, spreading and
- 2:05:28Speaker 1: covering over the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. The
- 2:05:31Speaker 1: whole is in writing from the hand of Jehovah. He
- 2:05:34Speaker 1: caused me to understand all the work of the pattern,
- 2:05:37Speaker 1: said David. And David saith to Solomon his son, Be
- 2:05:42Speaker 1: strong and courageous, and do Do not fear nor be affrighted,
- 2:05:47Speaker 1: for Jehovah God, my God, is with thee. He doth
- 2:05:51Speaker 1: not fail thee nor forsake thee unto the completion of
- 2:05:54Speaker 1: all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah.
- 2:05:57Speaker 1: And lo, courses of the priests and of the Levites
- 2:06:01Speaker 1: are for all the service of the house of God,
- 2:06:03Speaker 1: and with thee in all work is every willing one
- 2:06:06Speaker 1: with wisdom for every service, and the heads and all
- 2:06:09Speaker 1: the people are according to all thy words. Chapter 29
- 2:06:16Speaker 1: And David the king saith to all the assembly, Solomon
- 2:06:20Speaker 1: my son, the one on whom God hath fixed, is
- 2:06:23Speaker 1: young and tender, and the work is great. For not
- 2:06:27Speaker 1: for man is the palace, but for Jehovah God. And
- 2:06:31Speaker 1: with all my power I have prepared for the house
- 2:06:33Speaker 1: of my God, the gold for things of gold, and
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: the silver for those of silver, and the brass for
- 2:06:39Speaker 1: those of brass. the iron for those of iron, and
- 2:06:42Speaker 1: the wood for those of wood, show-ham stones, and settings,

- 2:06:50Speaker 1: kinds of precious stone, and stones of white marble in abundance.
- 2:06:55Speaker 1: And again, because of my delighting in the house of
- 2:06:58Speaker 1: my God, the substance I have, a peculiar treasure of
- 2:07:01Speaker 1: gold and silver, I have given for the house of
- 2:07:04Speaker 1: my God. Even over and above all, I have prepared
- 2:07:08Speaker 1: for the house of the sanctuary three thousand talents of gold,
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of
- 2:07:15Speaker 1: refined silver to overlay the walls of the houses. Even
- 2:07:18Speaker 1: gold for things of gold, and silver for those of silver.
- 2:07:22Speaker 1: and for all the work by the hand of artificers,
- 2:07:25Speaker 1: and who is he that is offering willingly to consecrate
- 2:07:28Speaker 1: his hand today to Jehovah? And the heads of the fathers,
- 2:07:32Speaker 1: and the heads of the tribes of Israel, and the
- 2:07:34Speaker 1: heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, even to
- 2:07:37Speaker 1: the heads of the work of the king, offer willingly.
- 2:07:40Speaker 1: And they give for the service of the house of God,
- 2:07:43Speaker 1: of gold, talents five thousand, and drams a myriad, and
- 2:07:48Speaker 1: of silver a Talents ten thousand, and of brass a
- 2:07:51Speaker 1: myriad and eight thousand talents, and of iron a hundred
- 2:07:55Speaker 1: thousand talents. And he with whom stones are found hath
- 2:07:59Speaker 1: given to the treasure. of the house of Jehovah by
- 2:08:01Speaker 1: the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite. And the people rejoice
- 2:08:05Speaker 1: because of their offering willingly, for with a perfect heart
- 2:08:08Speaker 1: they have offered willingly to Jehovah. And also David the
- 2:08:12Speaker 1: king hath rejoiced great joy. And David blesseth Jehovah before
- 2:08:16Speaker 1: the eyes of all the assembly. And David saith, Blessed
- 2:08:21Speaker 1: art thou, Jehovah, God of Israel our Father, from age
- 2:08:25Speaker 1: even unto age. To thee, O Jehovah, is the greatness
- 2:08:29Speaker 1: and the might and the beauty and the victory and
- 2:08:31Speaker 1: the honor, because of all in the heavens and in
- 2:08:34Speaker 1: the earth. To thee, O Jehovah, is the kingdom and
- 2:08:37Speaker 1: he who is lifting up himself over all for head
- 2:08:41Speaker 1: and the riches and the honor are from before thee
- 2:08:44Speaker 1: and thou art ruling over all and in thy hand
- 2:08:47Speaker 1: is power and might and in thy hand to make
- 2:08:50Speaker 1: great and to give strength to all. And now, our God,
- 2:08:54Speaker 1: we are giving thanks to thee, and giving praise to
- 2:08:57Speaker 1: thy beauteous name. Yea, because who am I, and who
- 2:09:01Speaker 1: are my people, that we retain power to offer thus willingly?
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: But of thee is the whole, and out of thy
- 2:09:07Speaker 1: hand we have given to thee. For sojourners we are
- 2:09:11Speaker 1: before thee, and settlers like all our fathers. As a
- 2:09:15Speaker 1: shadow are our days on the land, and there is
- 2:09:18Speaker 1: none abiding. O Jehovah our God, all this store that
- 2:09:22Speaker 1: we have prepared to build to thee a house for
- 2:09:24Speaker 1: thy holy name is out of thy hand, and of
- 2:09:28Speaker 1: thee is the whole. And I have known, my God,
- 2:09:31Speaker 1: that thou art trying the heart, and uprightness dost desire it. I,
- 2:09:36Speaker 1: in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these,
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: and now thy people who are found here I have
- 2:09:42Speaker 1: seen with joy to offer willingly to thee. O Jehovah,
- 2:09:46Speaker 1: God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this
- 2:09:50Speaker 1: to the age for the imagination of the thoughts of
- 2:09:53Speaker 1: the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee.
- 2:09:57Speaker 1: And to Solomon, my son, give a perfect heart to
- 2:10:00Speaker 1: keep thy commands, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to
- 2:10:04Speaker 1: do the whole, even to build the palace for which
- 2:10:07Speaker 1: I have prepared. And David saith to all the assembly, Bless,
- 2:10:12Speaker 1: I pray you, Jehovah, your God! and all the assembly
- 2:10:16Speaker 1: bless jehovah god of their fathers and bow and do
- 2:10:19Speaker 1: obeisance to jehovah and to the king and they sacrifice
- 2:10:23Speaker 1: to jehovah sacrifices and cause to ascend burnt offerings to
- 2:10:27Speaker 1: jehovah on the morrow of that day bullocks a thousand
- 2:10:31Speaker 1: Rams a thousand, lambs a thousand, and their oblations, even
- 2:10:35Speaker 1: sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. And they eat and
- 2:10:39Speaker 1: drink before Jehovah on that day with great joy, and
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: cause Solomon son of David to reign a second time,
- 2:10:46Speaker 1: and anoint him before Jehovah for leader, and Zadok for priest.
- 2:10:50Speaker 1: And Solomon sitteth on the throne of Jehovah for king
- 2:10:53Speaker 1: instead of David his father, and prospereth, and all Israel
- 2:10:57Speaker 1: hearken unto him, and all the heads, and the mighty men,
- 2:11:00Speaker 1: and also all the sons of king David have given
- 2:11:03Speaker 1: a hand under Solomon the king. And Jehovah maketh Solomon
- 2:11:07Speaker 1: exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel, and putteth
- 2:11:11Speaker 1: upon him the honor of the kingdom that hath not
- 2:11:13Speaker 1: been on any king over Israel before him. And David,
- 2:11:17Speaker 1: son of Jesse, hath reigned over all Israel, and the
- 2:11:20Speaker 1: days that he hath reigned over Israel are forty years.
- 2:11:24Speaker 1: In Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he
- 2:11:28Speaker 1: reigned thirty and three. And he dieth in a good
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: old age, satisfied with days, riches, and honor, and reigned
- 2:11:37Speaker 1: doth Solomon his son in his stead. And the matters
- 2:11:41Speaker 1: of David the king, the first and the last, lo!
- 2:11:45Speaker 1: They are written beside the matters of Samuel the seer,
- 2:11:48Speaker 1: and beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside
- 2:11:51Speaker 1: the matters of Gad the seer, with all his reign,
- 2:11:54Speaker 1: and his might, and the times that went over him,
- 2:11:57Speaker 1: and over Israel, and over all kingdoms of the lands.
